A convection steam oven has a boiler, a tank, a fill valve, a drain pump and level sensing, and every one of them lives in whatever comes out of a South Florida tap. That is why descaling is not a chore on this appliance — it is the maintenance the appliance was designed around. ### What descaling actually prevents - A boiler scaled up, and then very scaled up — two separate published conditions - Fill valves that will not seat and drain pumps moving too little water - Level sensing reading through a coating of scale - Foam in the boiler, which the wrong agent causes and which is published as its own error ### What decides the figure How long it has been left. A scheduled descale is a straightforward visit; a boiler that has not been touched in years is a longer job and sometimes a parts conversation. What this involves The maker's own agent, not vinegar Tank, fill screen and drain path cleaned Vent slide freed while it is open Descale properly With the agent the maker names and a full cycle, not a wipe. A half-done descale leaves scale where the sensing is, which is the version of this that produces errors. The paths water takes Tank, fill screen, boiler, drain pump and the level sensing. All of them collect what our water leaves behind, and all of them are cheaper cleaned than replaced. Free the vent slide The valve that lets the cavity breathe gums up with grease and then reads as half a dozen unrelated errors. Freeing it is part of a proper service. Run it before we leave A full steam cycle from cold. A descale that has not been proven under steam has not been finished.
